MorphoSys Resolves a Capital Increase to Implement the Purchase of 3,629,764 American Depositary Shares by Incyte Corporation

 

MorphoSys AG (FSE: MOR; Prime Standard Segment; MDAX & TecDAX; NASDAQ: MOR) announced today that its Management Board, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, has resolved to increase the share capital of MorphoSys AG by issuing 907,441 new ordinary shares from the authorized capital 2017-I, excluding pre-emptive rights of existing shareholders, to implement the purchase of 3,629,764 American Depositary Shares (ADSs) by Incyte Corporation. Each ADS will represent 1/4 of a MorphoSys ordinary share. The new ordinary shares underlying the ADSs represent 2.84% of the registered share capital of MorphoSys prior to the consummation of the capital increase.

"We are pleased to announce resolving the capital increase, which marks the final step in formalizing our partnership with Incyte," said Jens Holstein, Chief Financial Officer of MorphoSys. "We are grateful for our partner's long-term commitment and are excited to kick off and operationalize our collaboration at full speed over the coming weeks and months."

Incyte's purchase of ADSs in the aggregate amount of $150 million is part of the consideration due under its collaboration and licensing agreement with MorphoSys for the further development and commercialization of MorphoSys' investigational compound tafasitamab; the agreement has become effective upon receiving antitrust clearance. Incyte will purchase the 3,629,764 new ADSs at a price of $41.32 per ADS, including a premium of 20 percent on the volume-weighted average price of ADSs thirty days prior to execution of the collaboration and licensing agreement. Incyte has agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to sell or otherwise transfer any of the new ADSs, which will represent 2.76% of the registered share capital of MorphoSys following the capital increase, for an 18-month period.



About Tafasitamab
Tafasitamab is an investigational humanized Fc-engineered monoclonal antibody directed against CD19. In 2010, MorphoSys licensed exclusive worldwide rights to develop and commercialize tafasitamab from Xencor, Inc. Tafasitamab incorporates an XmAb(R) engineered Fc domain, which is intended to lead to a significant potentiation of antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) and antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP), thus aiming to improve a key mechanism of tumor cell killing. In January 2020, MorphoSys and Incyte Corporation entered into a collaboration and licensing agreement to further develop and commercialize tafasitamab globally. In the U.S., MorphoSys and Incyte will co-commercialize tafasitamab, outside the U.S., Incyte will have exclusive commercialization rights.
MorphoSys is clinically investigating tafasitamab as a therapeutic option in B cell malignancies in a number of ongoing combination trials. An open-label phase 2 combination trial (L-MIND study) is investigating the safety and efficacy of tafasitamab in combination with lenalidomide in patients with relapsed/refractory DLBCL who are not eligible for high-dose chemotherapy (HDC) and autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). The ongoing phase 3 study B-MIND assesses the combination of tafasitamab and bendamustine versus rituximab and bendamustine in r/r DLBCL. In addition, tafasitamab is currently being investigated in patients with relapsed/refractory CLL/SLL after discontinuation of a prior Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor therapy (e.g. ibrutinib) in combination with idelalisib or venetoclax.
